I always visit /new and it's quite astonishing how many great posts never make it to the front page and instead, quietly drop off. This really has a lot to do with what time of day they post as well. E.G. I've posted around 3

What a wonderful way to make lemonade! Thank you for doing this. I hope the site can withstand the onslaught of visitors as I'm sure they'll get more than their fair share at the moment.

I was told repeatedly that I was a sucker for buying Adobe products (I own CS3 and never found it necessary to upgrade) instead of pirating. Well, I'm conflictingly feeling like a sucker. Conflictingly because my CC info has since expi

Let's forget computers for a while and think about good ol' pen and paper. Ask yourself these questions: Do you use a desk? Do you use paper? Do you use folders? How big is your desk? How do you keep the papers on you

This is true, unfortunately. I know quite a few designers who're absolutely appalled at some of the things they're asked to implement. Completely counter-productive and short-sighted. They really do browse their work on mobile so

Answer to your last 3 questions : - Replace MySQL with MariaDB (hopefully your tables are InnoDB and the transition will be "relatively" seamless). You can continue using the rest of your app as-is. - Yes. There are many by the si

Unity is no better IMO. It feels like another counter-intuitive and ultimately awkward (for me) interface. Which is why I'm right now on Linux Mint which ironically has the most "Windows 7-like" post-Win7 UI.

You're definitely not the only one. Honestly, I feel like it's a break in my momentum and flow of creativity (that really sounds pretentious, but it's true) to move my hands from keyboard to screen. It's not like keyboar

This is great news. Now if only Mozilla made it easy to remove plugins just as other addons[1], we'll be all set. [1] At present, you'll need to go to [your install folder]\extensions or check their path. To do this, go to about

The solution is already available by the very same folks who would just as easily think nothing of presenting that "female | male | other/it's complicated | prefer not to answer" field though. In lieu of questioning who

it is probably simplest to have words that most people use like male and female and something... The simplest is a text field with: "What prefix would you like us to use?" The End. There are no assumptions, no assignment o

I fail to see how this API needs to accommodate transpeople in its 0.1 release. You have failed at empathy. Speaking to the fluidity of human gender, "Other" is the majority of the spectrum and defaulting to binary is just

This is not thinking outside the box. This is painting the interior of the box with refractive ink and calling it innovative.

Thanks for putting this together. This is one of those nice projects that does more than just solve a problem or acts as a tool; it forces the user to think. Overall, I hope this project goes toward helping people understand the thought pro

You're likely going to get some knee-jerk flak from people who misunderstand what you're trying to say, but from experience (I'm ethnic Sinhalese), I can say that this can be attributed to what exactly constitutes "progr

This is basically extending the encoded input field trick with another (CSS)hidden field. You can get rid of the (CSS)hidden field by using just the encoded field names instead. That will prevent someone from just copying the HTML field and

That just means whoever does the video merge for the live stream decided (inconsistently) that the video downlink should coincide with control room chatter... cut out and all.
